Hi,
First, I just wunder why so few pages on the web are valid according to the
W3C norms? Second, why almost all web-page authoring tools generate non
valid code?
The problem with that is that it discourages people from writing good code.
That is why I came up with an idea: The W3C could create a web-page with
adresses of valid web sites (according to the DTD's of course). A robot
could parse the sites and check the validity of all their pages. If one
site passes, it would be on the list.
Doing that would encourage people to write code that sticks to the norm.
This in turn could encourage the software editors to create valid code
generating tools. That would be a great step towards internationalization.
That's it! You can have a look at my own site which is absolutely valid
(the W3C logo is on all pages).
